New physical policy gradient theorem enables in situ AI training

Researchers have developed a new method for training AI models called the physical policy gradient theorem. This technique allows for direct extraction of parameter gradients from measurements, overcoming previous limitations that required reciprocal or restricted systems. The new approach utilizes a stochastic-adjoint gradient estimator, trading reciprocity for nondegenerate diffusion, and has been successfully applied to train a nonlinear resonator network using only measured stochastic trajectories. AI

IMPACT This new training method could enable more efficient and direct gradient extraction in complex AI systems.

    Physical policy gradient theorem for in situ stochastic-adjoint training

    arXiv:2609.05808v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In situ adjoint training extracts parameter gradients directly from measurement, but has so far been limited to reciprocal or restricted systems. Here, we introduce the physical counterpart of the policy gradient theorem: a stocha…
